I think it's over petabyte by now. I've heard from guys in Google that this estimate is pretty close to the reality - and Google built few new datacentres since then. And since they fight for reduced latency they should have systems with a lot of RAM rather than with a lot of disk. So my guess is that they have at least petabyte of RAM and less then exabyte of disk. But nobody knows for sure, obviously...
